Who typically does NOT receive a copy of a completed work order?

• A. Maintenance technician
• B. Supervisor
• C. Original equipment manufacturer
• D. Customer

Answer: (C)

Focus on who needs the service record. A completed work order serves as the official record of what was done, what parts were used, the time spent, and any notes or follow‑ups. It is most useful for the people directly involved in the maintenance process: the technician who performed the work, so they have a reference for future tasks; the supervisor, who uses it for planning, safety, and accountability; and the customer, who wants confirmation that the job is finished and what was found. The original equipment manufacturer is not typically copied on these internal records unless there’s a specific reason, such as a warranty claim or a special service arrangement. So the original equipment manufacturer is the one who generally does not receive a copy.
